Sales of Air Polltion Control Equipment to Reach $68 Billion This Year

Sales of equipment to remove air pollutants from stacks and vehicles will exceed $68 billion in 2012. This is the latest finding in Air Pollution Management published by the McIlvaine Company.


The $25 billion power segment includes coal-fired power plants, gas turbines and stationary diesel engines. Mobile includes ships as well as automobiles and trucks. Municipal is primarily odor control from municipal wastewater plants except for a broader scope for fans and compressors. The industrial segment includes iron and steel, refining, pulp and paper, chemicals and hundreds of other smaller segments.

The high growth areas over the next ten years are:

Fabric filters to meet increasingly more stringent regulations for small particulate emissions
Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) & NOx reduction (DeNOx) in Asian countries and China in particular
Mercury and other air toxic reductions in the U.S.
Seawater scrubbing systems for large vessels
Selective catalytic reduction for trucks
Thermal treatment systems for unconventional oil and gas recovery
Electrostatic precipitators in Asia
Air pollution upgrades for power plants in Eastern Europe

Market changing technology developments which are possible include:

A combination filter and DeNOx device to operate at 850°F
Scrubber systems to produce hydrochloric acid along with gypsum
Vehicle catalyst developments to more cost effectively address CO, hydrocarbons and NOx
Better ways to capture mercury
Encapsulation of the flue gas in foam for ultra high removal of all pollutants
Better ways to marry filtration and electrostatic precipitation
